Now Lu Kang and Jiang Wei are indeed grasshoppers tied to a rope. They can't run away from you, and they can't fly from me. If they want to survive, they can only overcome the difficulties together by helping each other in the same boat and sharing weal and woe.

If one of them is opportunistic or selfish, their so-called alliance will soon disintegrate and be defeated by the Wei army one by one.

Sincere unity and concerted efforts are their only choice now. While Lu Kang repeatedly praised Jiang Wei's selfless actions, he also secretly ordered all units of the Wu army to fully cooperate with Jiang Wei's orders and go all out to challenge the Wei army.

It would be a lie to say that Lu Kang did not have some careful thoughts when he surrendered to Shu. Lu Kang was forced to surrender to Shu, and it was not for his personal glory and wealth. If it was just for his personal wealth and the interests of his family, Lu Kang surrendered to Shu.

It is possible to raise Jingzhou and surrender to Wei.

Following Cao Liang's practice of treating his subordinates kindly, Lu Kang did not lose his position as a minister after surrendering to Wei, and the descendants of the Lu family also enjoyed endless glory and wealth.

But Lu Kang had the dream of restoring his country, so he would not easily surrender to Wei. If he really wanted to restore his country, his personal strength alone would not be enough to achieve it, so he surrendered to Shu and relied on the power of Shu.

Achieving his great cause of revival is Lu Kang's ultimate goal.

Therefore, Lu Kang's surrender to Shu may not be sincere. His real purpose is just to use the power of the Shu army to repel the Wei State, and then expel the Shu army and revive Sun Wu.

In essence, Lu Kang was actually pretending to surrender. Lu Kang even had the intention of letting Jiang Wei's Shu army block his sword while he reaped the benefits from behind.

But seeing Jiang Wei's conscientious and selfless behavior, Lu Kang couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart. In the final analysis, his situation was still a bit small. Now they faced a powerful enemy, and they could only defeat the enemy.

, are qualified to pursue their own plans. If they have two ambitions now, I'm afraid they will all be defeated miserably at the hands of the Wei army, and any great revival will be nothing more than a mirror in the mirror.

In order to cover up his guilt, Lu Kang specially ordered a banquet and invited Jiang Wei to come over.

Jiang Wei heard that Lu Kang had hosted a banquet for him, and he couldn't help but wonder. It was not a new year or a festival, and it was a powerful enemy. The war on the front line was in full swing. Why would Lu Kang suddenly entertain him?

In order to save his face, Jiang Wei could not refuse, so he came to the banquet.

Lu Kang did not hold a banquet in his mansion, but held a banquet on the city tower near the river. He held the wine in the wind and looked far into the distance. The Yangtze River emerged from the Three Gorges, galloping down like a wild horse that had escaped the reins.

The rapids are rushing forward and rolling up thousands of piles of snow. The scenery here is particularly good.

"Xiaojie, why are you so relaxed today that you invite someone to drink along the river?" Jiang Wei said with a slight smile after sitting down.

Lu Kang personally poured a glass of wine for Jiang Wei and said: "I heard that Sima Qiaoqi successfully blocked the rebel Wei army at Xiaoting and ordered them not to move forward for a month. Xiling was saved because of the wise decision of the general.

On behalf of the elders of Xiling, I would like to thank the general for his hard work. I have prepared a special bottle of wine today and am willing to share the experience with the general."

Jiang Wei laughed and said: "Youjie has been over-honored. Defending the territory and resisting the enemy is everyone's responsibility. There is no need to mention hard work. But since it is Youjie's invitation, it is better to be respectful than to obey. Come, let's drink this wine together.

Only get drunk!"

These days, Jiang Wei has been working nervously, and many military affairs need to be handled by him personally. He is so busy that it is already dark, let alone drinking, and there is not much time for eating.

It was rare that Lu Kang hosted a banquet for him today, and good news came from the front line. Jiang Wei was in a happy mood, and it was just the right time to indulge.

The two drank from each other, chatting happily, and unknowingly drank dozens of glasses of wine.

The wine that Lu Kang served Jiang Wei was naturally good wine that had been stored in cellars for many years. It was soft in the mouth, but had a strong stamina. The two of them were both drunk without knowing it.

Since joining forces in Xiling, the two of them had been burdened with complicated military affairs, and they could not relax for a moment. They finally got drunk today, and the two of them drank and became a little forgetful. Lu Kang even sang loudly, holding on to the battlements and singing.

Song, the sound echoed on the river.

Jiang Wei, on the other hand, was flushed and sitting on the table, sleepy-eyed.

The soldiers around him couldn't help but secretly laugh. It turned out that the majestic big man behaved in the same dissolute manner after getting drunk. However, they did not dare to approach or make a sound, so they could only watch from a distance.

Lu Kang stared at the river with blurred eyes, and suddenly said: "Why are there so many cloud sails on the river today? Is it possible that someone is dazzled?"

Jiang Wei muttered and said: "Of course you are dazzled. Those sails are all from the warships against the Wei Dynasty. How can they sail to Xiling? Even if they come to Xiling, it is a useless effort, so why worry about it?"

"

Lu Kang chuckled and didn't take it seriously. He turned back to the table and raised his glass again. He was really prepared to get drunk before resting.

At this time, the warships of the Wei army gathered on the river, and they were sailing towards Xiling quickly. Thousands of sails were densely covered, and they were powerful.

The Shu army on the top of the city had already discovered this sudden change. Logically speaking, they should report the emergency to Jiang Wei and Lu Kang at this time.

However, when the Shu army generals were about to report, they found that Jiang Wei and Lu Kang were both on the city walls of Xiling Linjiang. There was no reason why they would not witness the invading Wei army warships, so they planned to report to the Shu army.

So they backed down. In this situation, they really didn't need to report it.

Lu Kang had eyes, and he climbed on the city wall and took a closer look. He had already seen what he saw, so there was no need to listen to what he heard, so the Shu soldiers quickly gave up the idea of ​​reporting.

Lu Kang, on the other hand, suspected that his eyesight was dazzled, so he didn't take it seriously and planned to drink again.

In the past few days, the Wei army's warships on the river have been quite active. They patrolled back and forth, completely ignoring the defenders of Xiling.

At the beginning, the Shu army arrived as if they were facing a formidable enemy, guarding the city tightly and preparing a large number of archers. Once the Wei army's warships approached, they would immediately retaliate with bows and arrows.

However, these warships of the Wei army did not intend to dock, but only traveled between the upstream and downstream. They seemed to want to cut off the connection between the north and south of the Yangtze River and cut off its traffic.

After seeing too much, the Shu soldiers felt that there was no danger in the Wei army's warships, and gradually relaxed their vigilance.
